Ted joined Jeff Daly to talk about the victory for free speech regarding Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul’s blatantly unconstitutional pregnancy center law, why Illinois is falling behind our neighbors in tax competitiveness, the collapse in the state’s manufacturing jobs, why the Evanston school district is segregating classrooms, and more.

If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
The future of Illinois is a State that will supply electoral votes to the Democrat party in exchange for welfare dollars. The farmers will stay, but since they don’t pay taxes on their ground based upon market value like the rest of the state, life will go on for them. While I am sorry to say it, that is the way I envision the future of the State.
They’re trying to drive the family farmers out of the state so the big farm companies can buy them out, and then use illegals to run and manage the land. The state just passed a law that turns most farmers – who own weapons with magazines larger than 10/15 rounds – into felons for not registering their weapons with JB Pritzker.
Think of all of the places on earth where one powerful group oppresses a smaller minority: hutus, uyghers, shia/sunni, etc….
Democrats what to do this to you because of your political beliefs.
Big farm companies like Bill Gates company you mean? All the more reason why farmers do not need a tax subsidy and should pay their fair share.
Bill Gates definitely Satans Spawn.
You are inaccurate in opinion of farmland property taxation. Farmland pays property tax based on a productivity index, much like commercial real estate pays based upon its cap rate (that is: what is earning potential of the taxed property). The overlooked point is: developed property causes socially mandated expenses (schools, police, fire&rescue, roads, water provision, garbage amelioration, civil liability for government misfeasance….). Farmland costs society very little, and provides permeable surfaces for aquifer recharge. Arguments against farmers carry water for the mono-party State which is corrupt-at-will. Maybe redirect your ire toward those who are profitting themselves at others’ expense, via… Read more »
I disagree and so did the State at one time. When the current system of taxation was set up it was designed to be fairly apportioned based upon the fair market value of the property. It was based upon value, not productivity. Somewhere along the line the farmers decided they should be treated differently because they didn’t they didn’t like paying high Illinois property taxes. Who can blame them? However though when one class of individuals gets a special break that means others have to pay more to pick up the slack meaning now others have to pay extra so the farmers… Read more »
Now is the time to move.
If you stay and pay taxes in Illinois you are funding/enabling this extremism.
Its no different than Russians staying in Russia and enabling the evil genocidal extremism of the Kremlin.
Agreed. Those that are optimistic enough to believe that “ we can change things, we can vote them out, etc.” aren’t really seeing the big picture, a picture which features back door deals, gerrymandering and the enabling of a welfare underclass for votes. Until IL receives a thorough, overdue and unlikely scrubbing of “ da machine “ , what we have is what we’re going to get. Good and hard.
I also agree.
